BIG BROADWAy
'GREEN' OFF TO
Many Winter Garden Records Broken
Despite Heat Wave, Rain, Strong
Opposish; All Crix Raved
N EW YORK'S Winter Garden, through whose portals passed some of the world's
greatest pictures, saw several of its records go by the board when "Green for
Danger" opened there for its American preem and stayed on for a long run.
Despite terrific heat wave, rain and strong opposition in other first-run houses,
the crowds began to come on opening day—and kept right on coming. Two big
factors for the picture's outstanding success were the unanimous critic raves and
the unusual advertising campaign, details of which are elucidated elsewhere on this
spread. Big radio campaign and two fashion shows put on in conjunction with the
opening also helped greatly.
FEMMES WOOED
VIA STYLE SHOWS
T WO fashion shows held in conjunction with
the Broadway opening of "Green for Danger”
helped focus feminine attention upon the opus both
visually and over the air, and can be repeated
locally!
The first was arranged in co-operation with the
nationally advertised Peggy Martin blouse. This
company made up a complete line in every shade
of green and called the result the "Green for Dan¬
ger” Blouses. These were modeled at the famous
Latin Quarter Restaurant by girls from popular
Broadway shows. Maggi McNellis and Herb Shel¬
ton, noted radio figures, emceed the proceedings,
which were also broadcast over WJZ.
Hundreds of window cards in Peggy Martin out¬
lets in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn, in¬
vited the public to attend the fashion show and
the turnout was a terrific success. The cards were
so designed that the invitation could be clipped off
and after the show was over they became out-and-
out "Green for Danger” plugs.
A little later a similar deal was arranged with
Andreana Classics, wherein a fashion show was
held at popular Iceland Restaurant, with the pro¬
ceedings broadcast by Ella Mason over WHN.
Both these distributors are national distributors
and the chances are that there are local outlets in
your trading area! See women’s apparel buyers; tell
them what was done in New York, and—repeat
locally!
It was discovered early that the picture began
to build through word-of-mouth and that's an angle
well worth remembering in planning your own
campaign. What started the word-of-mouth going
was the critic acclaim—and that's something else
well worth remembering. It would probably do
you a lot of good if you can get the critics to see
the picture before opening night and then use an
ad like the one on the opposite page.
Spectacular Front
Front and lobby were simple—but highly effec¬
tive. As shown below, marguee was covered with
huge title in brilliant green. Lobby displays con¬
sisted mainly of the Alastair Sim figure used on
the cover of this Press Book, which proved to have
considerable tease value. The quotes from New
York and national critics were also used in the
lobby in blowup form.
Window Displays
Other items which helped get the word-of-mouth
going early were the posting of some 400 special
window cards which hooked in with the fashion
shows explained on this page; 150 window tieups
on Broadway, Fifth Avenue and crosstown streets
in the midtown section, based mainly on green
color promotions; the releasing of a balloon bar¬
rage; and a merchant co-operation based on the
expression "Follow the green line," a play on the
signs in New York's subway shuttle system.
BIG RADIO SKED
PLUGGED PREEM
O NE of the biggest radio campaigns ever placed
behind a Broadway premiere helped get wtfrd
about the "Green for Danger” opening around
early and often. Not only were local facilities used,
but national hookups were also included—mean¬
ing that your potential customers heard about it!
The campaign began two weeks before the open¬
ing with a dramatization of the story over the
Mutual Broadcasting System on the "Let’s Go to
the Movies” program. This was followed by a
similar show on the Robert Q. Lewis spot on the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
A few days later Leo Genn was interviewed over
WOR by Martha Deane. This was followed, just
before the opening, by reviews—all favorable and
several in the rave class—by Barbara Welles,
WOR; Charlotte Adams, WQXR; Dolores Craeg,
WINS; Adele Hunt, WPAT; Daily Dilemmas,
WOR; Bill Leonard, WCBS; Robin Morgan,
WOR; Margaret Arlen, WCBS; Mona Fisher,
WWRL; Lu’s Tips to Teens, WWRL; Maggi
McNellis, WJZ, and Jim Fleming, WNBC.
The fashion show introducing the "Green for
Danger” blouse described elsewhere on this page
was held just before one of the Maggi McNellis
broadcasts and was plugged hard at the broadcast.
In another commercial tieup Dolores Craeg gave
away pairs of Wysteria hosiery, promoted by E3^1e
Lion home office exploitation men, to persons who
correctly answered her questions and in return for
the stockings she gave the picture liberal plugs
all week long.
On'a similar deal "The Ladies’ Man” gave away
green Andreana Classics inspired by "Green for
Danger” to winners of the week-long contest he
conducts over WOR. The picture came in for heavy
plugs again when Ella Mason conducted a fashion
show of the classics in the popular Iceland Restau¬
rant and later broadcast the proceedings over
WHN.
At press time for this book it was indicated that
several big tieups with national hookups are in
the offing for "Green for Danger.” This campaign
is designed to carry word of the great show into
every home in the land with a radio!
If you want to make lobby panels similar
to the quote panels of Sim on these and
the following pages, you can do so by blow¬
ing up stills, which are available from the
Press Book Editor. They are numbered
IPL-III-P6A, -P7A, -P9A, -PI2A, -PI3A
and -PI5A. ^
New York’s famed Winter Garden, which saw a thing or two in its day, saw some of the biggest
crowds in its history on opening day of “Green for Danger.” Shot above, taken in early morning
hours, shows how the spectacular was stressed.

RREMIERE SETS
TERRIFIC START
CRIME EXPERTS ASSIST
C ONSIDERABLE publicity for the opening was
kicked off in New York by a contest, partici¬
pated in by 30 members of the Mystery Writers
of America and professional crime reporters who
tried to name the killer and the method used in
the killing after seeing most of the picture.
Twelve of the experts named the killer correctly
and only five knew how the murder was com¬
mitted. This stunt can be repeated locally by invit¬
ing the local police officials and crime reporters.
The invitations should be sent out in the name of
Alastair Sim.
While this should be good for pictures and
stories, you obviously will not want to give away
the identity of the killer, nor the method employed
in the killing. Just mention of the fact that the
identity was discovered is enough. Winners can
be given some kind of a prize in Sim’s name.

N. Y. Crix Rave
New York's movie crix were unani¬
mous in acclaiming "Green for Dan¬
ger." Herewith are excerpts from
their comments. Some of these were
used in the special ad reproduced in
the next column. You may be able to
do the same with local critic comment
when it comes along!
"Loaded with suspense! Make a note to
see it!"
—Kate Cameron, Daily News
"Well worth seeing! Amusing and gripping
drama. All the excitement sheer technique
can build—and that is plenty."
—Otis L. Guernsey, Jr., Herald Tribune

"You've got to buy a ticket! All the know¬
how of creating suspense . . . bright, gay,
enjoyable."

"A humdinger of a baffler! Deftly humor¬
ous, intriguing and startling. Alastair Sim is
^ v, <ie most engaging detective the screen has
’^?Sen since Nick Charles was young. Settled
down at the Winter Garden for a com¬
fortable stay!"
—Tom Pryor, N. Y. Times
"An extra special treat! A tonic for the
audience . . . intelligent, well-written, well
cast. Inspector Cockrill is an enchanting
creation!"
—Cecelia Ager, PM
"Don't shrug off the Winter Garden in your
movie plans!"
—Alton Cook, World-Telegram
"Corking good thriller! Suspenseful . . . slick
. . . deftly devised. Mr. Sim is terrific!"
—Irene Thirer, Post
"More humor and excitement than most!

well stirred!"

"Better than most murder films . . . ’Inspec¬
tor Cockrill' about the most ingenious gum-
shoe since Nick Charles!"

SMASH N.Y. ADS
NOW AVAILABLE!
A DS used by the New York Winter Garden in
its record-smashing "Green for Danger” cam¬
paign are available in mat form and may be ordered
the same as any other mat in this Press Book. They
may be found on Pages 20-24 inclusive.
The two-column teaser 209 was found especially
effective and its use locally is highly recommended.
The one-column 113 was also utilized to good
results, with quotes other than those from Good
Housekeeping used by routing out the quote and
inserting others in type. If you wish to do this you
may choose suitable quotes from Pages Two and
Three of this Press Book.
Instead of using the magazine quotes in New
York, some of the critic comments quoted in the
first column on this page were used in Ad Mat 113.
This will bear repeating locally when your com¬
ment comes in.
Also highly effective was the ad illustrated in
this column which was made up the night the re¬
views came out and rushed into print the next
morning. This can bear repetition locally, with the
quotes from local crix used instead of the New
York critic raves. If you do this, it may be an idea
to blow up the art and use it as a lobby piece. This
may also be done directly from the art herewith.
Spot survey on trains, busses, etc., disclosed that
Mat 306 really stopped ’em and made ’em take
notice. Not only did it dominate the newspaper
page but the unusual title treatment proved a real
eye tickler.

FASHIONS
What with the danger angle be¬
coming increasingly popular in the
merchandising of women's garb and
accessories (vide: recent perfume and
lipstick ads) the title "Green for Dan¬
ger" gives you a perfect in for ads
and window displays.
"Blue," says such an ad or window
card, "is for allure. Red for warmth.
Yellow for charm. And GREEN FOR
DANGER!"
Displays, of course, are of green
dresses, hats, emerald fripperies, etc.
LOBBY STUNT:
I F there is a professional weight guesser
available among the people in town
or if you can get one by arrangement
with a visiting carnival, you can set up
an intriguing lobby gag. The weight

. . . "I'm the world's greatest weight de¬
tective ... see the 'world's greatest detec¬
tive' Inspector Cockrill in 'Green for
Danger.'"
POLICE HELP:
I F you have established friendly rela¬
tions with the local police department
you may be able to persuade the chief
to make Inspector Cockrill an honorary
member of his detective bureau. Of
course the chief does this because he is
so pleased by the brilliant deduction ex¬
hibited by Alastair Sim in "Green for
Danger." You may be able to assist the
chief in preparing a scroll to commemo¬
rate the event which can be displayed in
your lobby. This might also make a news¬
paper story on the angle of "World's
Greatest Detective Joins Local Force."
•
TACK CARDS:
M AKE something extra-special out of
your street light pole tack cards by
combining special art of Alastair Sim
as Inspector Cockrill with the "World's
Greatest Detective" angle stressed in the

13, 15 and 17. Copy on the cards reads

ger' at the Theatre." Cards,
of course, are arrow-shaped with arrows
pointing toward your theatre.
NEWSPAPERS:
A LASTAIR SIM'S being hailed as "the

be used as part of your lobby display on
"Green for Danger."
Here's the question:

tive.’ Whom do you consider the screen’s
greatest detective before him and in what
picture?”

SPACE-GRABBING RADIO GAGS
Does your town have a shopping news reporter
who gets tired of hunting for a new angle to hang
her daily chatter on? You can solve her problems for
one day at least by lending her "The World's
Greatest Detective" to go on her bargain hunt for
her. Fact that you are a regular time-buyer on the
station should help you sell the idea. Her program
can use the slant "Today I sent Inspector Cockrill,
The World's Greatest Detective" and star of "Green
for Danger," which is now playing at the
Theatre, out to shop the town for me. And he's come
back with some great values
"You may not be able to be the 'World's Greatest
Detective' like Inspector Cockrill, star of 'Green
For Danger,' but you can be our town's greatest
tune detective and win guest tickets to see him at
the Theatre." That's your pitch on a
radio gag which can plug your film title and Alastair
Sim. Idea is to get one of the stores with which you
regularly co-operate and which already buys radio
time to have its disc jockey play a tune without an¬
nouncing the title. First one or first ten to call in
the correct title to the station can win guest tickets
to see "Green for Danger."

Five Have Motives
For Double Murder
In ‘Green for Danger’
Five suspects—all with excel¬
lent motives and all with excel¬
lent opportunities—for the mur¬
der of a patient and a nurse in a
hospital set the story for the new
Eagle Lion Films release, “Green
for Danger,” scheduled to begin
a .-day engagement on .
. at the.Thea¬
tre.
Coproduced by Sidney Gilliat
and Wank Launder, the duo who
brought “The Lady Vanishes,”
“Night Train” and “The Adven¬
turess” to the' screen, the exciting
new mystery film is being hailed
as an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense. “Green for Dan¬
ger” presents Alastair Sim as In¬
spector Cockrill of Scotland Yard,
the wise, witty—and wily—repre¬
sentative of the law, described as
the year's most refreshing per¬
sonality.
Sudden, Strange Death
fcs Sim arrives at the hospital fol¬
lowing the sudden and mysterious
death of a patient on the operat¬
ing table. Before she can reveal
some vital information, the head
nurse is stabbed to death. Sim
learns that all those assisting at
the operation during which the
patient died had excellent oppor¬
tunities to commit the murder.
Following an attempted killing
of another nurse, Sim becomes
aware of the jealousies and in¬
trigues within the small group
and stages a mock operation at
which he dramatically unmasks
the killer.
Co-starring with Sim are Sally
Gray and Rosamund John as sus¬
pect nurses and Trevor Howard
and Leo Genn as doctors with mo¬
tives for both murders.
Howard with Old Vic
‘%fter ‘Green’ Film
Trevor Howard, currently co-
starring in. “Green for Danger,”
the Eagle Lion Films release at
the . Theatre,
has been signed to appear with
the Old Vic theatre company in
London next season. Howard has
previously been seen in “The Ad¬
venturess” and “Brief Encounter.”
Sim’s Portrayal in ‘Danger’
Is Year’s Most Refreshing
“The year’s most refreshing screen personality” are
the words advance reviewers are using to describe Alas¬
tair Sim’s role of Inspector Cockrill in “Green for Danger,”
the new Eagle Lion Films release scheduled to begin a
-day engagement on
Theatre.
Playing comic roles in films
seems a far cry from the way Sim
planned his life would be. Born in
Edinburgh, Scotland, on October
9, Sim was educated at the James
Gillespie School and at Edinburgh
University. The son of a judge,
Sim’s first job was as an analyti¬
cal chemist but gave this up to be¬
come a professor of phonetics at
New College, Edinburgh Univer¬
sity.
Formed Theatrical Society
From this interest in speech, he
formed a number of students into
a theatrical society and put on a
series of plays in poetry in Eng¬
land. Inspired by a notice written
by a famed playright, the late
John Drinkwater, Sim decided to
become a professional actor. After
several small roles in London
stage plays, he joined the Old Vic
and played Shakespeare for two
seasons. After a series of villain¬
ous roles, Sim turned to comedy
because that was his natural in¬
clination and also because by the
time he was 25 he was almost
completely bald.
Sim’s films include “Riverside
Murder,” “Gangway,” “This Man
Is News,” “This Man in Paris,”
“Climbing High” and the Inspec¬
tor Hornleigh motion pictures.
Is Publicity Shy
He plays chess, likes to watch
football and admires Degas’ paint¬
ings. He fights shy of publicity
and is witty, courteous and punc¬
tual.
In “Green for Danger,” hailed
as an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense, Sim as Inspector
Cockrill of Scotland Yard becomes
embroiled in two murders that
take place in a hospital. Suspects
are Sally Gray, Trevor Howard,
Rosamund John and Leo Genn
and in a thrilling re-enactment of
the last murder, Sim dramatically
unmasks the killer. Sidney Gilliat
and Frank Launder produced
'Green for Danger.”

Christianna Brand
Writes Best Seller
To While Away Time
Christianna Brand, best-selling
novelist, wrote her latest book,
“Green for Danger,” in order to
have something to do!
Miss Brand is married to a
surgeon who was assigned to a
military hospital during the war.
Occasionally she would be al¬
lowed into the operating theatre
to watch him at work and she
became friendly with the hospital
staff.
In conversation one day, the
anesthetist, without knowing it,
suggested to the novelist how a
murder might be committed dur¬
ing an operation. For days she
toyed with the idea of writing a
thriller about such a crime but
she could not think of a motive—
until one day an inebriated old
man told her of an experience in
a bomb shelter. The old man’s
story suggested the very motive
she was looking for and she
set herself down to write “Green
for Danger.”
Now brought to the screen by
co-producers Sidney Gilliat and
Frank Launder, “Green for Dan¬
ger,” an Eagle Lion Films re¬
lease, opens . at the
. Theatre and co-
stars Sally Gray, Trevor Howard,
Rosamund John and introduces
Alastair Sim as Inspector Cock¬
rill of Scotland Yard.
‘Green for Danger’
Is Third Picture
For Launder-Gilliat
“Green for Danger,” the Eagle
Lion Films release scheduled to
open ... at the .
Theatre, is the third picture to be
produced by Frank Launder and
Sidney Gilliat.
Launder and Gilliat, authors of
the screenplays for “The Lady
Vanishes” and “Night Train,”
produced their first independent
picture in 1945—“Notorious Gen¬
tleman” with Rex Harrison. Their
1946 production was “The Adven¬
turess,” which won for Deborah
Kerr her co-starring role with
Clark Gable in “The Hucksters.”
Launder directed “The Adventur¬
ess” and Gilliat was responsible
for “Green For Danger.”
Described as an unparalleled
adventure in screen suspense,
“Green for Danger” bears the
typical and unusual Launder-
Gilliat touch. Based on Chris¬
tianna Brand’s murder mystery
novel, the picture stars Sally
Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosamund
John and Alastair Sim as Inspec¬
tor Cockrill.
Three Technical Advisers
Insure ‘Danger’ Realism
To insure complete authenticity
for the hospital background of
“Green for Danger,” the Eagle
Lion Films release opening .
.at the . Thea¬
tre, director Sidney Gilliat made
a close study of hospital pro¬
cedure and of an operating thea¬
tre.
An actual operating nurse su¬
pervised the making of all scenes
which took place in the operating
room and the laying out and use
of instruments and equipment. At
other times during the production
a surgeon and a medical student
kept a professional eye on the
proceedings.
Starring in “Green for Dan¬
ger,” hailed as an unparalleled
adventure in screen suspense, are
Sally Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosa¬
mund John and Alastair Sim as
Inspector Cockrill, described as
the year’s most refreshing screen
personality.
THE STORY
(Not for Publication)
to 1 ^ OSTMAN HIGGINS is rushed to the hospital for an emergency operation,
f During the operation, performed by Dr. Eden, a lady's man (Leo Genn), and
attended by Dr. Barnes, anesthetist (Trevor Howard), Nurses Linley, Barnes'
fiancee (Sally Gray), Sanson (Rosamund John), Woods (Megs Jenkins) and
Bates (Judy Campbell), Higgins starts sinking under the anesthetic.
Dr. Barnes cuts off the flow of anesthetic and frantically feeds Higgins
oxygen to no avail. Higgins dies on the table.
Hospital authorities make clear their distrust and suspicion of Barnes, one
of whose patients had died previously under similar circumstances. Nurse Bates
says she has proof that Higgins was murdered but before she can turn over her
evidence to the police, she is stabbed to death.
Scotland Yard Inspector Cockrill (Alastair Sim) is assigned to the case. He
discovers that Nurses Sanson and Woods have been going off on mysterious
errf^ds and that they have both lied about where they spent certain hours
vit&r'to their alibis. He also learns that Nurse Linley has quarreled with Barnes
and that she and Eden are romantically involved. Cockrill wonders if Nurse
Bates had discovered the attachment and that therefore either Nurse Linley or
Eden may have wanted her out of the way.
Nurse Linley is cleared in Cockrill's mind when she is found almost dead
from asphyxiation by illuminating gas. Cockrill decides to set a trap. He informs
the others that Nurse Linley must be operated upon the following morning and
that all the others must be present to perform the same duties they did during
Higgins' operation. He indicates that refusal to attend will attach suspicion to
the person who objects.
As the operation starts, Cockrill watches all closely. Nurse Linley begins to
sink under the anesthetic and Cockrill wrenches the knobs from Barnes' hands
and cjuickly shuts off all the oxygen. He rips the sheets from the nurse, who is
revealed as not enough badly hurt to require any operation.
Announcing that he knows how Higgins was killed, Cockrill scrapes off a
fleck of green paint which had been applied to make the poisonous nitrous
oxide tank look like the oxygen tank. Nurse Sanson breaks down and Cockrill
reveals that she is a psychopathic killer who developed an insane hatred for
Higgins ever since his rescue squad failed to save her mother after she had
been buried alive during a buzz bomb attack. She killed Nurse Bates to keep her
from revealing her as the murderer.
Nurse Sanson rushes into another room. Eden, who has been watching while
he surreptitiously filled a hypodermic syringe, rushes after her. But before Eden
can give her an injection, Cockrill knocks the syringe from Eden's hand.
Nurse Sanson sinks to the floor, dead. Contemptuously, Eden shows Cockrill
that the hypodermic contained the antidote to the poison which Nurse Sanson
had taken and that in his fears that Eden was about to kill the nurse, Cockrill
had destroyed the only chance of saving her life.
As Dr. Barnes and Nurse Linley realize that their lives can now resume their
normal patterns, Inspector Cockrill plans to return to London after having
dictated a report to his superiors, the last line of which reads, "And so I
submit my resignation, in the hope that you will see fit NOT to accept it" '
PREPARED REVIEWS
‘Must See’ Rating
Given to Thrilling
‘Green for Danger’
(Prepared Review)
Put “Green for Danger” at
the top of your “must see”
list!
With a cast that includes
Sally Gray, remembered for
her performance in “War¬
saw Concerto,” Trevor How¬
ard, who has been seen in
“Brief Encounter” and “The
Adventuress,” Leo Genn, most re¬
cently featured in “Henry V,” and
Rosamund John, the new Eagle
Lion Films release opened last
night at the . Thea¬
tre and ranks as an unparalleled
adventure in screen suspense.
Top laurels for acting go, how¬
ever, to Alastair Sim in his role
as Inspector Cockrill, surely the
screen’s most refreshing person¬
ality of the year. Sim’s portrayal
of a slow-moving but fast-think¬
ing detective is a gem of comedy
acting and judging by the roars of
laughter at last night’s opening
the audience felt the same way.
Two Deaths in Hospital
“Green for Danger” involves
two deaths in a hospital and Sim’s
discovery that all the suspects
had excellent motives for the two
deaths. Learning that there is no
love lost between Howard, Miss
Gray’s fiance, and woman-chasing
Genn, Sim stages a re-enactment
of the first death—and dramatic¬
ally unmasks the killer.
Directed, co-written and co-pro¬
duced by Sidney Gilliat, “Green
for Danger” is a worthy successor
to his previous films that have
established a tradition for sus¬
pense entertainment—“The Lady
Vanishes,” “Night Train” and
“The Adventuress.”
With co-producer Frank Laun¬
der, Gilliat has turned out one of
the season’s slickest and most ex¬
citing melodramas.
‘Green for Danger’
Is Expert Mystery
With Comedy Twist
(Prepared Review)
A hospital gown torn by a
sharp instrument, a set of un¬
identified fingerprints and the in¬
coherent mumblings of a deliri¬
ous patient were the clues set be¬
fore last night’s audience at the
.Theatre where
“Green for Danger” began a .-
day engagement. The new film,
produced by Sidney Gilliat and
Frank Launder, is a worthy suc¬
cessor to their other masterpieces
of screen suspense—“Lady Van¬
ishes,” “Night Train” and “The
Adventuress.”
Sim Role Highlight
Highlight characterization in a
series of expert performances is
turned in by Alastair Sim as In¬
spector Cockrill of Scotland Yard,
easily the year’s most refreshing
personality. Sim’s portrayal of
the wise, witty and wily detective
—who reads mystery stories for
relaxation—is sure to set the pat¬
tern for other screen detectives
who want to add a little humor to
their characters.
Involved with Sim in this sus¬
penseful story set in a hospital
are four nurses, played by Sally
Gray, Rosamund John, Judy
Campbell, Megs Jenkins, and two
doctors, Trevor Howard and Leo
Genn. When one patient mysteri¬
ously dies on the operating table
and a nurse is killed before she
can turn over some information
about the death, Inspector Cock¬
rill is called in. In a spine-chill¬
ing re-enactment of the operating
scene, with Sally Gray as the “vic¬
tim,” Sim dramatically unmasks
the killer.
“Green for Danger,” an Eagle
Lion Films release, is taut and
tense—and definitely worth your
time.

(Prepared Review)
Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder, responsible for those

Claim to Film Fame
Continuing up the ladder of
screen stardom, Trevor Howard
makes his fifth appearance in
films with his role in “Green for
Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films
release opening . at
the . Theatre. How¬
ard’s performance in the mys¬
tery film, hailed as an unparal¬
leled adventure in screen sus¬
pense, solidly establishes him as
one of the screen’s most popular
leading men.
Trevor Howard was born in
England and was taken to Can¬
ada when he was one year old.
Returning to England, he received
his education at Clifton College,
where he was captain of the rugby
and cricket teams, and later en¬
rolled in the Royal Academy of
Dramatic Art.
Rejected Paramount Offer
When he finished at the Acad¬
emy, Howard turned down an of¬
fer from Paramount Pictures and
stayed to appear on the London
stage in “Crime and Punishment,”
“Aren’t We All,” “The Rivals,” a
season of John Galsworthy Mays
and a Shakespeare Festh^l at
Stratford-on-Avon. He play™ for
two years in “French Without
Tears,” spent another season at
Stratford and then joined the Har¬
rogate White Rose Players.
With the outbreak of the war,
he joined the Army and saw action
in Norway and took part in the
invasion of Sicily. He was released
in 1943 with the rank of captain.
Stage roles followed in “Anna
Christie” and in “The Recruiting
Officer,” in which play he met
actress Helen Cherry who later
became his wife. He went on to
score a great personal success in
“Soldier for Christmas.”
Film Debut With Niven
Trevor made his screen debut
with David Niven in “The Way
Ahead.” His next film, “The Way
to the Stars,” led to his starring
roles in “Brief Encounter” with
Celia Johnson and “The Adven¬
turess” with Deborah Kerr.
Shakespeare and de Maupassant
are Howard’s favorite authors
and Toulouse-Lautrec is his fa¬
vorite painter. Benny Goodman’s
orchestra sends him and sailing,
cricket and sunbathing are his
favorite sports. In history, Ras¬
putin is the personage who most
intrigues him.
Co-starring with him in “Green
for Danger” are Sally Gray, Ros¬
amund John and Alastair Sim as
Inspector Cockrill. Leo Genn,
Megs Jenkins, Judy Campb^U and
Moore Marriott head the st^ort-
ing cast of the film which was
produced by Sidney Gilliat and
Frank Launder, those masters of
screen suspense who turned out
“The Lady Vanishes,” “Night
Train” and “The Adventuress.”
humdinger of a mystery film.
“Green for Danger” is a tight¬
ly written, slickly produced and
brilliantly directed suspense story
co-starring Sally Gray, Trevor
Howard and Rosamund John. Ex¬
pert as these three are, acting
honors go to Alastair Sim in the
role of Detective Inspector Cock¬
rill of Scotland Yard, easily the
most refreshing film personality
we’ve seen on the screen this
year.
Set in a hospital, the story of
“Green for Danger” involves the
death of a postman on the oper¬
ating table. One of the six per¬
sons present, the head nurse, finds
evidence that proves the postman
was murdered. Before she can in¬
form the police, she is mysterious¬
ly stabbed to death.
Detective Sim arrives and
learns of the bitter rivalry be¬
tween Howard and Leo Genn for
pretty Miss Gray. Sim stages a
mock operation on Miss Gray,
who has been injured in an at¬
tempt on her life. He persuades
the suspects to perform their usu¬
al duties during the operation—
and in the tense atmosphere of
the operating room — Sim un¬
masks the killer in an ending that
will have you panting for breath.

Judy Campbell Wins
Stardom After Fight
Dorothy Parker and the inter¬
national copyright law conspired
to make a theatrical star over¬
night.
Several years ago Judy Camp¬
bell, currently appearing in
“Green for Danger,” the Eagle
Lion Films release opening .
.at the. Thea¬
tre, decided to quit college where
she was studying theology and
philosophy and go on the stage.
For several seasons she appeared
in various repertory companies
in minor roles. And then she was
offered a part in “New Faces,” a
revue in which she was to recite
some Dorothy Parker monologues.
At the last moment the mono¬
logues had to be cut from the
show because of copyright com¬
plications. Judy’s only alternative
was to sing and she was finally
bullied into introducing “A Night¬
ingale Sang in Berkeley Square.”
The song made Judy a stage star
overnight and she went on to
appear in “Watch on the Rhine,”
“Lady Behave,” “This Happy
Breed,” “Present Laughter” and
“Blithe Spirit.”
“Green for Danger” is Judy’s
third film. She appears with Sally
Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosamund
John, Alastair Sim and Leo Genn
in the picture which is described
as unparalleled adventure in
screefi suspense. Sidney Gilliat
and Frank Launder, who turned
out “The Lady Vanishes,” “Night
Train” and “The Adventuress,”
produced “Green for Danger.”

Touch
Sally Gray Is Descendant
Of Old Theatrical Family
Sally Gray, lovely, blonde co-star of “Green for Dan¬
ger,” the Eagle Lion Films release opening.at the
.. Theatre, took to the theatre like a duck takes
to water. The hazel-eyed actress is the fourth generation
of her family to appear on the stage—her mother was a
famous ingenue and her great¬
grandmother a well-known act¬
ress.
She was born in London on
February 14th and started her
theatrical training when she was
13 at the Fay Compton Studio of
Dramatic Art. By the time she
was 14, she was appearing as a
chorus girl and at 16 she played
a scene with Fred Astaire in “The
Gay Divorce.”
Debut with George Sanders
Her screen debut came in “The
Saint in London” in which she
appeared with George Sanders.
Many films followed, of which her
favorite is “Warsaw Concerto”
with Anton Walbrook as her co-
star. On the London stage she
starred in “Funny Side Up” and
“Lady Behave” and then a two-
year illness interrupted her ca¬
reer. She made a triumphant re¬
turn in the stage production of
“My Sister Eileen” and has since
completed two films—her current,
“Green for Danger,” and “Carni¬
val,” which has not yet been re¬
leased.
The youngest of five sisters,
Sally is unmarried. Her devotion
to her family has led her to re¬
fuse increasingly persistent offers
from Hollywood but eventually
she hopes to come to the United
States.
Has Many Hobbies
The actress spends her free
time collecting books and an¬
tiques, painting and doing tapes¬
try work. Her favorite authors
are Shakespeare, William Thack-
ery, Sinclair Lewis, Terence Rat-
tigan and Augustus John. Roses
are her favorite flowers and she
prefers pastels in colors.
For exercise she swims, walks
and dances.
In “Green for Danger,” hailed
as an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense, Sally co-stars
with Trevor Howard, Rosamund
John and Alastair Sim. She is
cast as a hospital nurse who is
suspected of two murders in the
Sidney Gilliat-Frank Launder
produced film.
‘Danger’ Producer
Arrested As ‘Spy’
For years Sidney Gilliat has
been writing, directing and co-pro¬
ducing films, many of them con¬
cerning spies and saboteurs. In
pictures like “The Lady Van¬
ishes,” “Night Train” and “The
Adventuress,” to name but a few
of his many thrillers, he has al¬
ways contrived ways for enemy
agents to confound the police un¬
til almost the final fadeout.
But the police finally caught
up with Gilliat during the filming
of his latest, “Green for Danger,”
the Eagle Lion Films release
opening . at the
.. Theatre. Gilliat
was charged with attempting
sabotage and, despite his ingenu¬
ity at extricating movie charac¬
ters from tight spots, was himself
held incommunicado by the po¬
lice.
It all happened when Gilliat
was driving home from the studio
with a buzz bomb replica for
“Green for Danger” in the back
of his car. The studio prop de¬
partment hadn’t been able to pro¬
duce an effective exhaust flame
and he was taking the model to
the laboratory' of a scientist
friend for experimentation.
The police finally released Gil¬
liat when he was identified by his
co-producer, Frank Launder.
“Green for Danger,” hailed as
an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense, stars Sally Gray,
Trevor Howard, Rosamund John
and introduces Alastair Sim as
Inspector Cockrill, described as
the year’s most refreshing screen
personality. Leo Genn, Judy
Campbell and Megs Jenkins head
the supporting cast.
Record
It wasn’t on the record!
A phonograph record is
one of the vital clues in
Eagle Lion’s release of
the tense mystery thriller,
“Green for Danger,” which
opens at the
. Theatre. The
evidence on this record aids
Alastair Sim, who plays In¬
spector Cockrill of Scotland
Yard, in tracking down the
criminal.
When the time came for
that scene, the set was
hushed and the record
started. Suddenly the com¬
pany broke into gales of
laughter. The record had
been switched through an
error in the prop depart¬
ment and, instead of a voice,
the strains of the “Beer
Barrel Polka” swelled from
the victrola.
Hospital Is Built
On Sound Stages
For ‘Danger’ Film
Operations, real and reel, were
performed during the filming of
“Green for Danger,” the new
Eagle Lion Films release opening
. at the .
Theatre. The story of the exciting
new film, hailed as an unparalleled
adventure in screen suspense, is
set in a hospital where three oper¬
ations and two murders take
place.
Some of the most ingenious and
authentic settings were con¬
structed for the filming of the
picture which stars Sally Gray,
Trevor Howard, Rosamund John
and Alastair Sim. One of the
stages, serving as the first floor
of the hospital, included many
separate backgrounds: a fully
equipped ward of 14 beds; the
head nurse’s office and kitchen;
laundry; the covered terrace; the
operating theatre; the anesthetic
room; the theatre staff’s scrub¬
bing-up room; the lobby; the ster¬
ilizing room; and the linen room.
Each of the settings was provided
will all the authentic fittings and
instruments used in a hospital.
Complete Operating Room
The film’s stars found the oper¬
ating theatre the most interesting
set. Built in two halves, the cam¬
era units and the actors were able
to move from one set to the other
in a few minutes. An experienced
nurse was on hand to arrange the
surgical instruments for each
operation and to instruct the cast
in operating theatre procedure
and how to “operate” with convic¬
tion.
Leo Genn, Judy Campbell, Megs
Jenkins and Moore Marriott head
the supporting cast. Sidney Gilliat
and Frank Launder, who brought
“Night Train,” “Lady Vanishes”
and “The Adventuress” to the
screen, co-produced “Green for
Danger”.

Brilliant Production Team
Made ‘Green for Danger’
“Green for Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films release sched¬

Set in Hospital
The story of the film is set in
an emergency hospital. The accent
is on murder and the first victim
is the local postman who is
brought to the hospital as a cas¬
ualty. He dies mysteriously on

When she stumbles on evidence
that proves the postman was mur¬
dered, a nurse, who was one of
six in attendance at the postman’s
operation, is stabbed to death be¬
fore she can tell the police what
she knows.
Called in from Scotland Yard
to investigate the crime, the In¬
spector finds that each of the re¬
maining suspects had an excellent
motive for committing both mur¬
ders. By staging a mock operation
with the five suspects present, he
reconstructs the circumstances of
the postman’s death and dramat¬
ically unmasks the killer.
Sim Is Sinister
Inspector Cockrill, the Scotland
Yard detective, gives Alastair
Sim a role of sinister humor. A
romantic pair of suspects are
Sally Gray and Trevor Howard.
The other suspects are Rosamund
John, Leo Genn and Megs Jen¬
kins. Judy Campbell is the nurse
who is murdered and the postman
is played by Moore Marriott.
“Green for Danger” was written
by Sidney Gilliat and Claud Guer-
ney from Christianna Brand’s
best-selling novel. Sidney Gilliat
directed and he and Frank Laun¬
der produced.

Law Career of Leo Genn
Brought Him First Part
Leo Genn, who plays a woman-chasing doctor sus¬
pected of murder in “Green for Danger/’ the Eagle Lion
Films release opening . at the .
Theatre, is an actor who v got into the theatre through
the law.
It was while Genn was earning
his living in London as a lawyer
that he also played lawyers in
several amateur stage produc¬
tions. A theatrical producer who
saw one of the amateur perform¬
ances offered Genn a professional
role in one of his productions.
Genn was reluctant to give up
the law for the highly specula¬
tive career of an actor—so the
producer offered him a three-year
contract as an actor and a lawyer.
Sixteen-Hour Job
Under this arrangement, Genn
spent sixteen hours a day in the
theatre, from time to time remov¬
ing his costume to handle the
management’s legal business. He
went on to theatrical appearances
with the West End Repertory
Company and the Old Vic—main¬
taining his own legal offices all
the time.
He first came to the United
States in 1939 for the American
production of “The Flashing
Stream” but headed for home
with the outbreak of the war. He
served with an anti-aircraft unit
and then as an instructor at a
training camp for artillery of¬
ficers. In 1944 he became a colonel
and was transferred to SHAEF.
He served as a prosecutor inves¬
tigating war crimes and taking
evidence for later use in the
Belsen trials.
Got Leave to Act
He got sixteen days’ leave from
his legal assignment to return to
England for a role with Laurence
Olivier in “Henry V.” He was re¬
leased from the Army in 1946 and
returned to the United States to
appear on the Broadway stage in
Lillian Heilman’s “Another Part
of the Forest” and in the Holly¬
wood production of “Mourning
Becomes Electra” with Rosalind
Russell.
In “Green for Danger,” hailed
as an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense, Genn plays a
lady-chasing doctor who ends up
as a murder suspect. He is seen
in the Sidney Gilliat-Frank Laun¬
der produced film along with
Sally Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosa¬
mund John and Alastair Sim.
Leo Genn’s Future
Currently playing the woman-
weary doctor in “Green for Dan¬
ger,” the Eagle Lion Films re¬
lease showing at the .
Theatre, Leo Genn will soon be
seen in “Mourning Becomes Elec¬
tra” with Rosalind Russell. “Green
for Danger” co-stars Sally Gray,
Trevor Howard, Rosamund John
and Alastair Sim.
Actress Beseeches
‘Danger’ Director
To Shorten (!) Role
Most film actresses — and
actors, too, for that matter—do
everything possible to extend their
roles. But meet Judy Campbell,
featured in the cast of “Green for
Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films
release opening .
at the . Theatre,
who entreated director Sidney
Gilliat to cut her part in the pic¬
ture to a minimum!
In “Green for Danger,” hailed
as an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense from the masters
of “The Lady Vanishes,” “Night
Train” and “The Adventuress,”
Judy plays a hospital nurse sus¬
pected of murder who is mysteri¬
ously slain before the crime can
be solved. Her “death” as a mur¬
der victim would be, she told Gil¬
liat, a most welcome release and
would mean the finish of the most
discomforting role she ever had to
play.
Allergic to Rubber
On the hospital set, Judy spent
most of her time masked, gowned
and rubber-gloved. As luck would
have it, she is violently allergic to
the smell and feel of rubber. Her
role became an almost unbearable
ordeal, ending only when she be¬
came the killer’s victim.
Appearing with Judy in “Green
for Danger,” are Sally Gray,
Trevor Howard, Rosamund John,
Leo Genn and Alastair Sim as
Inspector Cockrill, described as
the year’s most refreshing screen
personality.
Ambitions
Three ambitions don’t
seem so very many for a
film star but Rosamund
John, currently appearing in
Eagle Lion Films release at

seems to have pretty big
ambitions. She wants 1. to
write a book; 2. to become
a member of Parliament;
and 3. to have five more

The actor who is starred in Eagle Lion’s release of
the suspenseful mystery of the same title, which opens

of the truth of these words.

discovered to his consternation, that the set had been
freshly painted the night before—with GREEN paint.
List of Film Stars Proves
From Bit Player
To Screen Star
In Three Roles
From bit player to screen star
in three pictures is the record of
Trevor Howard, whose newest
film, “Green for Danger,” an
Eagle Lion Films release, opens
.at the .
Theatre.
Howard’s screen debut, a small
part with David Niven in “The
Way Ahead,” led to a more in¬
teresting role in “The Way to the
Stars.” Both titles seem to have
significance. Noel Coward saw
Howard’s performance and quick¬
ly offered him the stellar role op¬
posite Celia Johnson in “Brief
Encounter.”
Limerick Invitation
The offer and the acceptance
ran this way:
Said Noel Coward to Trevor
Howard:
“To offer you stardom, Vm
empowered .”
Said Trevor Howard to Noel
Coward :
“Pal, it’s a deal; on small
parts Pve soured .”
After his brilliant performance
in “Brief Encounter,” Howard ap¬
peared with Deborah Kerr in “The
Adventuress” and then was signed
for his role in “Green for Dan¬
ger.”
Howard, to date, has appeared
in five pictures, starring in three
of them. Not bad for a beginner.
Sim Taught Phonetics
Hailed as the year’s most re¬
freshing screen personality, Alas¬
tair Sim, who plays the role of
Inspector Cockrill in “Green for
Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films re¬
lease coming soon to the.
Theatre, once taught phonetics at
Edinburgh University.
Cockrill
English Are Witty People
Whoever said the English have no sense of humor
evidently was no movie fan, says Sally Gray, co-star of
.“Green for Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films release begin¬
ning a .-day engagement on . at the
Theatre.
To prove her point, Miss Gray,
who is remembered for her per¬
formance with Anton Walbrook
in “Warsaw Concerto,” offers the
following statistics:
Of the twenty-odd made Bri¬
tish-born, top-ranking players
currently popular in the United
States, no less than 11 are co¬
medians. They are: Nigel Bruce,
Charles Chaplin, Leon Errol, Bar¬
ry Fitzgerald, Edmund Gwenn,
Bob Hope, Stan Laurel, Roger
Livesey, Alan Mowbray, David
Niven, Jimmy Savo and Roland
Young.
Many Other Comedians
Others who have played com¬
edy roles at one time or another
include: Ronald Colman, Regi¬
nald Denny, Sidney Greenstreet,
Charles Laughton, Victor Mc-
Laglen, Peter Lawford and Regi¬
nald Owen.
“In short, more than two-thirds
of America’s British-born film fa¬
vorites are, or have been, co¬
medians,” Sally says. “To tilt the
balance even more, and further
to disprove the crack about Bri¬
tishers having no sense of humor,
I give you still another comedian.
He’s Alastair Sim, featured as
Inspector Cockrill in our new film,
'Green for Danger.’
“Sim is a versatile comedian.
He has the pantomimic ability
of Chaplin, the explosiveness of
Barry Fitzgerald and grim men¬
ace of Greenstreet.
Sim Is No Adonis
“Don’t expect to see a pin-up
Adonis. Sim is in his late forties
and balder than Leon Errol—but
he runs away with the picture. All
of his co-actors in London, myself
included, hope his work in ‘Green
for Danger’ will land him a long¬
term contract with an American
studio. In Hollywood, he won’t be
able to steal scenes from us in
England.”

Deftly swiped by a blighter
like him.
Shortly afterward, there was
an answer:
I beseech you, dear friend, be
not grim;
With me, stealing scene's just
a whim :
You call me a blighter
(Nor could you be
righter!)
For that's just what 1 am.
Y ours,

ALASTAIR SIM is cast as Inspector
Cockrill of Scotland Yard, a very un¬
usual sleuth, who is called upon to
solve a series of very mysterious mur¬
ders. His methods are slow and some¬
times seemingly obscure, but none the
less effective. His is the leading role in
Eagle Lion's "Green for Danger," which
ow playing at the
Theatre.
Stormy Weather
The worse the weather was the better Sidney Gilliat
liked it.
Gilliat is not an umbrella salesman, as you might ex¬
pect, but the noted film director whose latest suspense
movie, Eagle Lion’s release of “Green for Danger,”
opens at the . Theatre.
The brooding suspenseful mood of “Green for Danger”
demanded that the outdoor scenes be photographed under
overcast, gloomy skies. So Gilliat, contrary to most di¬
rectors, spent his spare time hoping that the sun would
not shine.

Stars’ Hospital Visits
Add Realism To Roles
Two stars of “Green for Dan¬
ger,” the Eagle Lion Films re¬
lease opening . at the
. Theatre, had
their baptism of ether in the
cause of realism for the filming
of the new picture, described as
an unparalleled adventure in
screen suspense.
The stars were Trevor Howard
and Leo Genn, who appear as the
anesthetist and the surgeon, re¬
spectively, in the exciting film
which is set in a hospital. To get
the feel of an operating theatre,
both stars visited a hospital and
witnessed operations.
Howard was present while an
appendix was removed and Genn
observed a gory foot operation.
Both agreed that once they had
overcome the hot, dry atmosphere
of the operating theatre and the
discomfort of the masks over
their faces, they became fasci¬
nated by the skill of the surgeon.
Appearing with Howard and
Genn in “Green for Danger,”
which was produced by Frank
Launder and Sidney Gilliat, are
Sally Gray, Rosamund John and
AlastaiJ^Sim.
George Sanders
Finds Actress
In case screen star George
Sanders ever decides to give up
his screen career, he can write
his own ticket as head of a talent
agency. The agency, still in the
formative stage, will probably be
financed by Sidney Gilliat and
Sally Gray, director and co-star,
respectively, of “Green for Dan¬
ger,” the new Eagle Lion Films
release opening . at
the . Theatre.
Nine years ago Sanders was
making “The Saint in London,”
for which Miss Gray was hired
as an extra, her first film job.
Watching her work, Sanders was
convinced that Sally had talent,
and suggested using her for
small role.
Sally

Sally Gray, starring in “Green

.at the.
Theatre, is fol¬
lowing in the
tradition of her
theatrical fam¬
ily. Her mother
was a ballet
dancer and her
grandmother a
well-known act¬
ress.
Born in Lon-
. . . don on Februarj
Ma+2E 14, 1918, Sally’s
dramatic talents were apparent
by the time she was 12. She re¬
ceived her theatrical grounding at
the Fay Compton Studio of Dra¬
matic Art.
Sally’s first film role was oppo¬
site George Sanders in “A Saint
in London.” Her best-known film,
and incidentally her own favorite,
was “Warsaw Concerto.”
Operation
The operating theatre set,
scene of most of the action
in “Green for Danger,” the
Eagle Lion Films release
opening.at the
Theatre,
was constructed in two
halves to allow access to
the cameras and the lights.
The walls were built on
wheels so that the set, by
manipulation, could be ap¬
proached from any angle.

INSPECTOR COCKRILL, AS PORTRAYED BY ALASTAIR SIM, explains to
TrevcJsPHoward, one of the murder suspects, a possible manner in which a series
of mysterious killings were committed. The above scene is from Eagle Lion's
suspenseful film, "Green for Danger," which is currently playing at the
. Theatre.
Movie Actor Genn
Was a Prosecutor
At Belsen Trials
Leo Genn, featured in an im¬
portant role in “Green for Dan¬
ger,” the Eagle Lion Films re¬
lease opening .at the
.Theatre, is prob¬
ably the only film player ever to
defend a murderer or to assist in
the prosecution of several.
Before he became an actor,
Genn practiced law for four years.
During the war he joined the gun¬
ners, rose to the rank of lieuten¬
ant colonel and later, as com¬
mander of the No. 1 War Crimes
Investigation Team, conducted the
Belsen investigations.
Prosecutor at Belsen
As assistant prosecutor at the
Belsen trials, he obtained a con¬
fession from the infamous S.S.
woman, Irma Griese, and heard
her and other Belsen criminals
sentenced.
Genn has previously been seen
in “Henry V” and on the Broad¬
way stage in Lillian Heilman’s
“Another Part of the Forest.” In
“Green for Danger,” hailed as an
unparalleled adventure in screen
suspense, he plays a woman-chas¬
ing doctor suspected of two mur¬
ders.
f Green for Danger ’ Player
Saved Ray Milland’’s Life
When Bryan Foy, Eagle Lion vice president, received
the first print of “Green for Danger,” he invited several
of his friends to a screening of the film at Eagle Lion
studios. The picture had barely started when Ray Milland,
one of Foy’s guests, suddenly exclaimed, “Well, I’ll be a
monkey’s uncle! That chap on the-
Trevor
Howard
A descendant of the famous
Scottish hero, William Wallace,
screen actor Trevor Howard, star¬
ring in “Green for Danger,” the
Eagle Lion Films release opening
. at the
. Theatre,
has reached film stardom after
only four pictures.
Howard made
his screen debut
with David
Niven in “The
Way Ahead.”
“Brief Encoun¬
ter,” for which
his performance
was acclaimed,
was his second.
With Deborah
Kerr he co-
starred in “The
screen there—he onced saved my
life!”
After the screening, Milland
told how Moore Marriott, whom
he had recognized in “Green for
Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films
release now showing at the .
. Theatre, had been the
engine driver — hero of an early
silent picture, “The Flying Scots¬
man.” In the film, Ray, then
known as “Spike” Milland, had
played the villain of the piece.
The movie’s melodramatic climax
took place in the cab of the loco¬
motive hurtling along at 60 miles
an hour.
Fight in the Tender
“I climbed along the side of the
tender and viciously attacked
Marriott, who was at the con¬
trols,” Milland said. “To film the
scene, two short tracks were laid
side by side and, while the bat¬
tle raged on one train, the cam¬
era crew filmed it from another.
“During the struggle I toppled
backward, hit my head against
the ironwork of the cab and fell
unconscious through the open
doorway. Marriott, I learned la¬
ter, caught my legs in a flying
tackle and hung on grimly while
my head dangled between the two
speeding trains. He knew he must
either let go of me and halt the
train or hang on and let the train
crash through the barrier at the
end of the track.
Camera Crew Signals
“Luckily the camera crew on
the other train saw that some¬
thing had gone wrong. Their fran¬
tic signals attracted the attention
of a mechanic on our train. He
climbed along the tender and man¬
aged to bring the train to a
grinding stop a few yards from
the end of the dummy track,”
Milland concluded. “Marriott was
almost as frightened as I’d have
been—had I known what was hap¬
pening.”
Marriott appears with Sally
Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosamund
John and Alastair Sim in “Green
for Danger.” Produced by Sidney
Gilliat and Frank Launder, the
film’s supporting cast is headed
by Leo Genn, Judy Campbell and
Megs Jenkins.

Adventuress” and now he takes
his place among the screen’s great
stars.
Born at Cliftonville, Kent, in
England, on September 29, 1916,
Howard was educated at Clifton
College, Bristol, and studied for
the theatre at the Royal Acad¬
emy of Dramatic Art. He met his
wife, actress Helen Cherry, while
they were both appearing on the
London stage in “A Soldier for
Christmas.”
The screen star served in the
war for two years, participating
in the landings at Norway and
Sicily. Later he rose to the rank
of acting captain in an Airborne
division.
Radio Actor Genn
Leo Genn, who will soon be seen
as a woman-chasing surgeon in
“Green for Danger,” the Eagle
Lion Films release opening .
. at the . Thea¬
tre, is also one of England’s best-
known radio actors.
Genn Mixes Careers
Leo Genn, the lawyer-actor currently featured as a
lady-chasing doctor suspected of murder in “Green for
Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films release opening
at the Theatre, served with the
British Army during the war as a prosecutor at the
Belsen trials. During a visit of the British equivalent of
the USO, one of the actors fell ill and Genn stepped in
and played the role.
Genn met the judge advocate the following day who
told him that he had seen the play the night before. The
judge advocate wanted to know:
“My Lord, man, are you a lawyer or an actor?”
Rosamund
John
Lovely Rosamund John, co-
starred in “Green for Danger,”
the Eagle Lion Films release
opening . at the
. Theatre, has titian
hair and blue-gray eyes.
Rosamund
was born in Tot-
■ tenham, North
London, on Octo¬
ber 19, 1913,
and' attended
the Tottenham
Drapers Com¬
pany school. Her
first screen ap¬
pearance was in
“The Secret of
Mat 2E the Loch” and
her favorite film role was in “The
Way to the Stars.” She has also

Burns.”
Married to film editor Hugh
Russell Lloyd, the 'actress has one
son, John Howard Patrick, born
July 31, 1945. They live in a
charming old-world cottage in the
village that was the setting for
Gray’s “Elegy.”
In “Green For Danger,” Rosa¬
mund John is cast as a nurse who
figures prominently in the mys¬
tery.
‘Danger’ Music
“Green for Danger,” the Eagle
Lion Films release opening
at the . Thea¬
tre, has a musical score especially
composed by William Alwyn to
suit the dramatic nature of the
story, described as “an unparal¬
leled adventure in screen sus¬
pense.” Muir Mathieson conducted
the London Symphony Orchestra.
For the hospital dance sequence
of the film, the music, also writ¬
ten by Alwyn, was played by
Harry Gold and his radio orches¬
tra. Gold collaborated with Alwyn
in the scoring of the music.
Suspect
How To Keep Warm
One of the highlight dramatic scenes in “Green for
Danger,” the Eagle Lion Films release now showing at
the Theatre, finds star Sally Gray
waking up to find gas pouring into her bedroom.
The day the scene was being filmed was especially
cold and Sally asked if a little warmth for her cold bed
could be provided. The ingenious prop man heated some
bricks, wrapped them in a blanket and put them at
Sally’s frozen feet. Director Sidney Gilliat began to
rehearse the scene of Sally’s reawakening.
Sally closed her eyes and started the scene. But sud¬
denly she reopened them—and let out a piercing scream.
“No need to overdo it,” said Gilliat.
“I’m not,” replied Sally as she leaped from the bed.
“This bed’s on fire!”
